Episode 288
Quest message.
After being upgraded by craftsman Kim Jong-ho.
It was a status window that had not responded after the decisive battle with Jormungand.
Likewise the numerous castles of Orgal.
And a quest that had not occurred to me even after infiltrating Castle 2 was suddenly created?
‘The status window has never lied before.’
It meant one thing.
‘Typhon’s body is not far away.’
A smile appeared on Taehyun’s lips.
Everything went according to plan.
Although the monsters’ pursuit was stronger than expected, this level of risk is still to be expected.
‘Like this, we will break through the siege and reach the body of the Giant King. Once you reach it, you can set the stage… .’
It’s time for Taehyun to check his plan again.
Kwaang!!
Suddenly, the wall next to me collapsed and a strong hand came out.
Taehyun, who had been walking straight ahead, instinctively took a step back.
Goooooh.
Holding a huge blunt weapon in front of me.
There was a monster whose body was over 2 meters tall and filled with muscles.
‘The highest species.’
Moreover, its momentum was different from those I had encountered so far.
It is not just because of ‘higher species eyes’.
Developed sense of humor.
Or risk instinct.
I could tell right away that he was a castle commander.
[Could it be that the rat was human?]
Gort muttered, putting a blunt weapon on his shoulder.
Flashing red eyes scanned Taehyun’s body.
Rosaria’s attack takes place in another castle.
Sudden second s*x invasion of humans.
Gort’s head turned quickly.
[No way, you. Are you a contractor from Rosaria?]
Tiring.
[Skill High-Speed Eyes (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Taehyun strengthened his red eyes without answering.
The intention was to take advantage of Gort’s gap and escape from here.
But why?
‘… ‘I can’t see any gaps.’
There was no way to escape from the guy who was just standing still.
However, I didn’t think I could fool the guy’s eyes by using the skill right away.
It was only a brief pause.
That gave time for the monsters chasing Taehyun to arrive.
A top-class monster with no visible gap in front of it.
Behind them are surrounded by high-ranking monsters whose number cannot be guessed.
[You’re thinking about doing some tricks.]
Huh.
Gort swung the huge club he was holding.
Even though I swung it lightly, the speed was unusual.
Tiring.
[Skill Dark Apostle (SS) has been activated. Specifies the form.]
Kwasik!!
“… … !!”
Taehyun’s hastily created great sword was destroyed just by blocking it.
By human standards, it would not be surprising if it were given a legendary rating.
[Phew. Judging by its crude tricks, it is clearly Rosaria’s dog.]
Gort, who watched Taehyun’s skills, commented as follows.
It reminded me of Min Ji-hong, who came to visit me a while ago as a contractor for Orgal.
Min Ji-hong, who attacked Gort saying he wanted to learn something from her, was able to escape the castle only after her limbs were crushed and parts of her body were eaten.
Even though he never asked for his life.
Taehyun in front of him could see Min Jihong’s face overlapping with him.
Of course, the same was true for that cheeky new Korean.
“A dog. “Are you speaking harshly?”
Taehyun shook off his throbbing hand and raised his magic power.
I could tell just by touching the weapons once.
That this guy is an Erebos-level powerhouse.
If there was enough time and enough stage, it would have been seen as a good opportunity for growth.
But now I’m being chased.

There was a need to use serious skills.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been activated.]
[Skill Stone Skin (SS) has been activated.]
[The heart of the higher-ranking skill (SS) has been strengthened.]
Quaaaaa.
Quad deuk.
Giiiing.
Taehyun’s movements became more agile as three skills were used in succession.
Huh.
Taehyun lowered his head and barely managed to avoid the guy’s blunt weapon.
I felt a crackling sound that made my skin tingle.
[I will crush you like that guy.]
“Damn.”
Tiring.
[Skill High-Speed Eyes (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
I could clearly see the magical power flowing within his body.
Muscles trained to an absurd degree.
Naturally strong body.
The natural, enormous magical power flowing within the body.
In addition, the power of strengthening granted by Orgal.
If all that power were used, it couldn’t have been this much.
Taehyun should have been thrown against the castle wall several times by now.
However, Gort was excited by the first prey in a long time.
‘You’re not giving your all.’
The enemy’s carelessness always creates opportunities.
It wasn’t a bad situation for Taehyun.
Tiring.
[Skill Demonification (SS) has been activated. Specify the mimicry part.]
Quad deuk.
[Wow, that power is incredible… .]
“shut up.”
Taehyun strengthened his arms and legs in an instant and fixed his posture.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th type plain.
Avoid the club that Gort swings.
Step on the edge and dig in.
and.
Taehyun’s legs were swollen enough to compare to Gort’s.
A kick resembling the roar of a demonic beast struck Gort in the abdomen.
Kwasik!!
[…] … !!]
The guy’s body shook from the unexpected power.
But that was just it.
‘Was it light?’
Demon beast painting and ancient martial arts.
Still, I couldn’t completely push the guy’s body away.
The difference allowed Gort an opening to swing the blunt weapon.
[bloke!!]
This is the moment when the blunt object is about to swing towards Taehyun’s skull below me.
Tiring.
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Crrr!!
Gort’s body suddenly stopped as the spirit radiated from Taehyun’s body.
It was Taehyun’s turn once again.
The 6th form of ancient Chinese martial arts, Xinhua Jing.
Quang!!
The two fists that had become demon beasts were once again lodged in the abdomen.
This time I had a feeling.
“When it comes to strength, Erebos was much heavier. “He’s big.”
Taehyun sarcastically widened his distance.
It was natural for Gort’s face to distort.
* * *
For higher-level monsters, it is possible to learn the language by chewing on human brains.
Gort is also a monster that has lived for a long time and has eaten several humans in New Korea.
So, to him who knows new Korean, Taehyun’s words a moment ago were a mockery.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
How dare you compare yourself, the great monster of the Demon Beast Tribe, with the defeated giants and the like.
Abhorrent murder.
That would be an appropriate expression to describe Gort’s expression.
[How dare you compare this body to giants and the like. The bug is talking without knowing the topic.]
Taehyun laughed at the sight of his nostrils flaring and growling.
“I don’t think that’s something a guy guarding in fear of giants would say.”
[You guy… .]
Gort swallowed his next words.
Typhon, the giant king.
This is because information about the being sleeping in the basement of the castle is information that no human being should know.
“Looking at your expression, I guess it’s bingo.”
For Taehyun, who had already mastered psychological warfare, being stung by a single monster was no problem.
Gort’s distorted face shook for a moment.
[Hehehe.]
Soon the guy burst out laughing.
Soon, I fully understood the current situation.
Rosaria’s reckless actions.
The reason why the contractor in front of me infiltrated the castle alone.
[I can’t believe it. I never thought there would be someone who would try to make such a reckless idea come true.]
Gort, who had been muttering to himself, continued.
[Is Rosaria crazy?]
“No way. “She’s finer than you think.”
[…] … .]
at that time.
The monsters that were looking for an opportunity behind Taehyeon showed their intention to participate.
[Mr. Gort. We’ll take care of it… .]
[Do not interrupt.]
[But they broke into the castle… .]
[This bug is my prey. From now on, I will not let anyone who interferes.]
“Be thankful too.”
[It’s a bug. I already know that Orgal is looking for you.]
It is not known that Taehyun is the key.
Other Grand Dukes were also the same when they issued wanted orders for Rosaria’s contractors who were running amok without knowing anything about the subject.
[I must sacrifice you and ask for a reward from the king.]
Eat.
The corners of my mouth naturally went up at the other person’s arrogance.
“Dream bigger than your dreams.”
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Contrary to what he said, his opponent was a powerhouse of Erebus level.
There was no time to relax.
‘We go full force from the beginning.’
[Skill Lord’s Spirit (SS) has been activated. The target is not specified.]
Kugugoogung.
The magical power emanating from Taehyeon’s body spread throughout the castle.
* * *
With the crushing spirit, the monsters released their own magic power to destroy Apocalypse.
No matter how strong Taehyun became, none of them were people to look down on.
Several monsters withstood the spirit, broke the chains that bound them, and let out a roar to destroy the realm of darkness.
‘There are so many of them.’
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Wow. Clap la la rock.
The chain was wrapped around like a tentacle.
Pazzzzzz.
Sigh. Continue.
Some monsters that could not resist spewed out their magic power.
In an instant, magical power began to build up.
Taehyun did not miss the opportunity.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
[Skill Binding Chain (SS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
[Skill addiction (SS) has been activated.]
[The heart (SS) of the higher-ranking skill has been strengthened. Additional effect canceller is activated.]
Previously, I would have had to endure the load of all these skills with mental strength.
However, there is a magic stone located in Taehyun’s heart.
The second heart faithfully performed its role by repeatedly contracting and relaxing as the skill was used wildly.
Just by doing that, you can handle the previous skill without difficulty, and even the cooldown of the skill is quickly eliminated.
That’s it.
[This is ridiculous. How can one human being do this?]
Slaying ‘Apocalypse’s’ subordinates without much notice.
A huge monster approached Taehyun.
A top-class monster ordered to protect the second castle along with its commander, Gort.
It was Bert, who was called the Troll King and was working as Orgal’s henchman.
[Berth, you are my prey. Do not intervene.]
Gort said this, showing hostility.
[Gort. It’s clear that you are the commander. Face the situation.]
Bert continued, pointing to the monsters that were struggling against Taehyun’s skills.
[If this continues, the castle will collapse.]
[Don’t worry. I’m satisfied with just one limb.]
[Tsk. You’ve lost your eccentric personality again.]
As Bert said that, he swung a stick that was likely to hit Gort’s stomach.
He ignored Gort’s warning and targeted Taehyun.
Tiring.
[Skill Dark Apostle (SS) has been activated. Specifies the location.]
Ssssssut.
Taehyun’s body melted into the darkness and avoided the attack.
It appeared in a place away from the two highest level monsters.
[Looking at his rat-like talent, it is clear that he is a contractor from Rosaria.]
[Berth you bastard!! Didn’t I say it was mine!!]
[noisy. Orgal’s orders take priority.]
Bert’s body flinched at the word “orgal.”
When I remembered my master’s order, my excited blood began to cool.
[come here. Didn’t I say I would spare your life?]
[There is no need to struggle. I’ll only take the limbs.]
For a moment, I couldn’t help but laugh as I looked at the two monsters casually saying scary things.
“I have to push myself a little bit.”
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. The target is not specified. The form is not specified.]
Ugh. Wow. Ugh.
Huge maws bared their teeth everywhere in Apocalypse.
The number was dozens.
[Hoo.]
[It’s pretty good.]
Gort and Bert reacted with interest.
Unlike the archdukes.
It was a reaction that could have been seen because they had never experienced predation themselves.
“Eat it all up.”
Taehyun ordered indifferently.
Those red eyes were arrogant, as if they belonged to a king.
